THANK YOU. I think everyone understands that PNM Mamas can get a little emotional when their daughters have difficult recruitments and I don't think anyone is saying that we should attack them for being upset and sad, and even angry at the system.

momto2 let her disappointment manifest into what sounded like anger and disappointment towards her daughter.

I hope everyone can understand the distinction I'm trying to make here.
